Reporting back on getting a Seidio Surface holster and Diztronic Ultra Thin case. They work! In the past I had used a Seidio Active spring holster with my Sensation with a clear TPU case on and it has been my go to hip holster. Most recently, when I received my official bumper, I have since used the bumper and my universal type case:

Now that the Ultra Thin case by Diztronic came in and so I wanted to try if this combo with the Seidio Surface case made for the GNEX worked or not. And I was presently surprised on how well it worked together. It's not a complete fit, but it fits and feels secure enough to be my daily. Meaning that the phone doesn't seat all the way into the holster, but it's not going anywhere, I swear! You can actually push it down a bit to seat a lil more, but it's not needed. NOW the dilemma is, do I keep the bumper and use the holster combo I have created? The diztronic matte ultra thin case is sweet. I wish they made the matte the same as the tpu but both are great. The speaker is still off by a hair, but like the tpu, doesn't hamper the speaker at all.
Man o man what to do! LOL
The Diztronic case is great all around. And without the bumper, the phone looks sleek once again. This time there are cut outs rather than covering the buttons, which is great for most. I can either way really. But to reduce weight, it's fine by me.
Anyway here are the pics of my c-c-c-Combo! lol
Thanks for the post, but I'm concerned about the last pic. I've never held the holster, so I don't know if it's the same fitment with the gnex. Even with the felt lining, would the screen be susceptible to damage because the edge of the holster does not reach the edge of the screen? Also, does the spring flip to a vertical position when inserting the phone?

Here are some additional pics....
I have had the similar holster for the Sensation and have used it for a number of years. Even though I have screen protectors on everything I own, the screen never once scratched on the Sensation from using the Seidio holster. Looking at this one, it looks the same as well. I will report back if something goes wrong, but I do not foresee it being bad at all. Here are some shots that you see have space between the screen and holster. Even though you see the space there, you can press down and have the holster touch the screen. But like I said, I have a Sensation with the same type of holster and no scratches on the sp from what I can tell.

Do you know if that clip would work when using the Diztronic TPU case rather than the Ultra Thin Case? Based on the gap between the soft inner case lining and the phone face, I presume that the glossy front rim of the TPU would fit, but I'm not sure about the bottom "hooks" of the clip and whether they would allow the phone and TPU case to fit in there and still lock up top.

No it won't work. I tried that when I first got the tpu case. It's the bottom part of the lip that makes it too thick for the Seidio Surface holster. You can either use the Diztronic ultra thin hard case or the rearth rienke case. The thing is that both have the bottom and top portions uncovered and that is another key to keep in mind when fitting these into the holster.

I don't have this one but I got the snap on case and it is horrible the casemate snap on was way better, it is one of the worst cases I've ever bought and I heard this company made good cases.

I just got the Otterbox Commuter case which is very similar and I really LOVE it. $22 shipped from Amazon and worth every penny.

It was supposed to be a question. I just forgot the question mark.... lol.
I doubt these are better
I second the Otterbox Commuter, it's amazing how well built this case is. I thought Incase made the best cases, but Otterbox takes the lead now.
Incipio cases are really rough and feel unfinished. The Feather case I got for my Nexus One actually damaged it slightly cause it had sharp uneven edges, not to mention cracked twice without dropping it even once.

Oh I just posted this in another thread (but is better posted in here)....
Ok well I got this Incipio silicylic hybrid case today, and I'm not that impressed.
It looks nice, and does give the extra support for the silicone down each side of the screen I was looking for. But they've totally cocked up the bottom of the case...
There is no real protection between the trackball and the USB port. The hard plastic is totally cut away there to the back of the phone, leaving a flimsy flap of silicone horizontally between the ball and port. Also the plastic and silicon is cut away right out past the dock port pins, leaving the phone body exposed to a straight down drop on its arse end due to this gaping cutout.
The plastic shell also has very sharp edges at that massive gaping cutout at the bottom too, so it needs dremmeling right out of the box.
If only they'd run a strip of plastic along that edge between trackball and usb port and not just silicone, none of this would be an issue, and it would have been my perfect case. Grrrr.

Thanks for the review! Kindly provide us some photos?
I'm looking for a new case. Recently had the Spigen Neo Hybrid. Amazing case until the back TPU started to get dirty really easily.
Anyways, just wanted to ask what the thinnest cases any of you have seen around is?
After I cracked my screen I started using the phone with no case and omiglawb it feels so much better, But to rock a phone without a case is dangerous so I figured I'd get a case, but this time something really, really thin so it doesn't add much bulk to the body.
Any input is appreciated, fellas.
UAG cases are thin and protective, just don't get slate. Slate scratches slightly.

That is a pretty intense looking case, man. Not liking the design too much though.
This thin case for S4
I just got this really thin TPU case from Monoprice for $2.94 + shipping.
http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=116&cp_id=11607&cs_id=1160701&p_id=10492&seq=1&format=2
I needed the thinnest case I could find to slip easily in and out of my car dock. All the others I've tried I had to grind down just to fit them in at all.
This one went in no problem and is available in other colors.
Hope that helps.

I own a Pinlo Slice 3 and I'm very happy with it. I only use it in more formal occasions, my daily case is a Spigen Neo Hybrid, like you ( mine doesn't get dirty :s), but it has some good protection and doesn't get scratched easily.
Check it out. Hope I helped
I like the Diztronic tpu cases. Have them on my last 2 phones.

Did your screen crack because of a case? Seems odd you would stop using a case after the screen cracked.

Nooooo lol I had a Spigen Neo Hybrid. I think I broke it in my sleep or something. Phone was on the nightstand before I went to sleep. Woke up in the morning and phone was still on nightstand except top left of the front bezel was exposed from the case and there was a crack(s) on the screen. After that I didn't give a **** so I used it with no case lol.
This is probably the slimmest case available for the S4 (the clear Ultra Thin Air model). It's too slim for my preference.

i also prefer cases that cover all the edges of the phone. if you're looking slim hard case that covers all edges, then recommend the Speck Candyshell. I cycle between that, an UAG, and the Diztronic TPU case.
I use this case:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BSZU8H6/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It fits with a tempered glass screen protector.
A little work to get it off the first few times bit it is thin and covers all edges of the phone and has a lip to protect the screen in a face down drop.
mine is not the thinnest i think but i like my spigen neo hybrid
Has anybody got the sedio dilex pro yet with the holster. It just came out last week. So please post pics if you got it and how u like it and if the fixed the problem where the rubber and clip didn't work well together. Based on the pics look like the fixed it from past phone models.
I know somebody has got to have this case by now. Please share if you do. Thanks
Somebody posted in another case thread (I forget which one) that they got it and they are gonna return it. I think I remember something about it being too slippery or something like that.
I saw that post also, just wanted anybody else
Anybody?
Anybody with updated thought/reviews on the dilex pro?

I have the Dilex Pro for the Note 4. I don't think it is slippery when compared to the UAG or Spigen cases. It has a soft touch coating on it. It is definitely not as grippy as the old Active cases - which I have for my Note II. This is due to two factors - they have now switched over to TPU and they only have one grip area on each side, whereas the Active had 2. The side buttons are a little stiffer compared to the UAG - but not as stiff/unresponsive as the cheap full TPU cases you find on e-bay. When you press a button, you do feel the button press and there is a slight tactile response.
I have noticed 2 light scratches on the chamfered edges - 1 top, 1 bottom. And I have only taken it out of the case once or twice.
The kickstand is very nice - a lot more recessed compared to the active but feels just as sturdy. Has the right amount of force to hold it in - can be hard to pop it out sometimes, but better to be a bit more difficult than have it open accidentally.
My only complaint would be that the black version shows fingerprints very easily, so you do need to clean it a bit - the same can be said of the Active. I do wish that they had more of a texture on the sides - since they are a bit narrow due to the slim profile of the phone.
I am sticking with the Siedio over the UAG mainly due to the slimmer case + built in kickstand. Not sure if the kickstand will interfere with Qi charging - my charging receivers have not arrived yet.
Overall drop protection - I feel the UAG would be better - but since the hard smooth plastic of the UAG is slippier....
EDIT: I did not get the holster - not a fan of them.
Thanks for the review, if u don't mind post a couple pics
Update:
It looks like my phone does not have any scratches. (knock on wood).
I thought there was, but I just got my Qi charging receiver and had to pop out the phone. It is not easy to do on this case - it fits that snugly. Anyways - I rubbed at the "scratches" and they are gone. Double checked around the phone edges, and no scratches.
Edit: Qi Charging works with this case - even with the kickstand. Using the Choetech Updated Charging pad - the one with 3 coils. NFC does not work with this Qi receiver though.
RE: Pictures. I don't have a camera with me at work right now - I'll take a few tonight - hopefully I won't forget.
Cool thanks ksoze nice to hear no scratches
Here are the pictures. As you can see those are finger marks - the lighting makes it look worse than it is, but I do have to wipe the case down occasionally.
I placed an e-grips pad in the center to aid with one-handed use. Without it, it tends to slide down if you're not careful.

I forgot to mention this previously, but the bottom microphone home is an elongated oval cutout - so should fit the Verizon(?) model with the alternate mic location.
Kickstand hump area sticks out about 2mm when stored - which is slightly better than the 3mm of the older Active series.
Kickstand can only be used in landscape mode - portrait mode is out of the question. I also find my self resting the kickstand over my fingers for a more relaxed grip. Feels sturdy - does not pop out like the Spigen kickstand. On the downside - if you do manage to pop the kickstand out, I figure it will be damaged. Held in by magnets - does not affect S-pen functionality.
Camera is decently protected - unless you are unlucky enough to drop it on a stone - it should handle falls to flat surfaces alright. The front lip area is about 1.5mm - hard to tell now with the glass screen protector on. You can also see the lovely Halo effect in the front shot.
Interesting. I haven't had the slipping or fingerprint issues.
I tried the following cases before settling on the Dilex Pro:
Spigen Tough Armor (way too slick and felt cheap)
I-Blazon Prime (close but not quite the Dilex Pro - my close second choice, but wish the kickstand was easier to pop out)
Otterbox (way too thick/wide/tall/fat/etc...)
I'm used to the Seidio Active cases. I was concerned when I first received mine because it was TPU instead of the softer grippy silicon. I emailed and they explained that the Pro is TPU and the regular is the softer silicon. They said the TPU was better able to provide protection from drops. Also, the edges seemed a little sharp, but that went away with use.
The iBlazon Prime is pretty cool and close, but honestly nothing beats a Seidio. The kickstand is great, it's slim fitting and protective. While I liked the protection that the Otterbox offered, in the end it was just too huge for me. The Dilex Pro is much more easily used with a single hand, and fits in a pocket better. I've dropped mine about 3-4 times and nearly went into shock each time watching it fall, but it's survived in the Dilex Pro without any scraps/scratches/dings. I also have a tempered glass screen protector (yes with the holo effect, but it feels so much nicer than the flexible ones).
Thanks for the pics and info guys!!
Hey guys I'm looking for a really slim case that isn't raised too much along the edges of the screen or cover too much of the sides of the device. A couple I'm looking at is the Obliq case, spigen capsule, spigen slim armor, or maybe the official Samsung protective case.
I have a tech 21 case now and it's ok but it's a bit bulky around the edges and kind of hides the shape of the phone.
I had the Tech21 case and currently have the Speigen Capsule and Samsung cases. The Tech21 was WAY too thick and bulky, and the buttons were hard to press. The Capsule is very thin, but has sharp edges IMO. I found it really uncomfortable to hold without it feeling like my hand may get cut (it never happened, but still hurt).
The Samsung case is awesome though. Fits beautifully and looks like it's a part of the phone. It protects really well too and hardly adds any thickness. I'd highly recommend it. It's worth the money 105%.

Yes, try Amazon.
Look up verus iron shield champagne gold galaxy note 4 review by real reviews on YouTube thy have a link in the description probably the best thin case for the note 4 in the link the have different colors also
Ringke Slim case is the slimmest one IMO by far at the expense of drop protection. The black one has a nice matte finish while the other colors are more glossy which I don't like.
It adds the least bulk and gives a bit of protection - I've dropped my phone onto hardwood floors a couple times from 3-4 feet. The case slightly deformed but the phone was perfect. However I expect any drop onto a hard surface like concrete will break the screen.
Like the previous post stated, the Ringke slim is super thin. The SF black has good grip.
I would go with the Samsung Protective cover though. a little thicker but you are drop protected and the case feels better in hand.
Ringke Slim 9.99
Samsung Protective Cover:
12.00 (Blue)
14.00 (Black)
15.00 (Red)
Thank you guys for the ideas. I really like how slim the ringke is but it makes me a little nervous. I think I'm torn between the Samsung protective case and the verus. Both look super nice although the Samsung appears to be a bit slimmer
I have a Verus Thor on mine, and I think it's pretty amazing for its slimness to protection ratio. Camera's protected, there's enough of a lip in front to protect the screen (I've got a tempered glass protector anyway), and if there's a con, it's that it fits so tight and snug that you don't want to take it off too often; I ended up buying a new dock just so I don't have to. Well, that, and it's not highly textured or rubbery, so it feels a little smoother in the hand than I see a lot of people liking. Fell out twice at work a few days ago--once onto concrete, once onto steel car wash railings--and it still looks pristine. I highly recommend it.

If by "thick enough that the camera isnt exposed," you mean that when you rest the phone on a table, the camera lens isnt resting directly on the flat surface, then yes. There is a lip around the camera lens that will keep it from touching any flat surface.
i want it too

Well after reading the comments from you guys I decided to pull the trigger on the blue Samsung protective cover. Seems like it offers good protection and a very slim form factor. I'll post some pics once it comes in the mail
That Samsung one looks nice. There is a great review on it from a guy named lawmanfj on youtube. I'll probably grab that one down the road. I just purchased the S-View case, and I really like it. It is a flip case, but it doesn't add much bulk. Seems like the drop protection might not be the best, but since it replaces your back battery cover, it's stay's slim. It does run about $26 through Amazon. I picked one up at Best Buy for a few bucks more, but got to try it out before purchasing.
You should post some pics when your case comes in, and give a review of it.
Does anyone know if there is a case like the Samsung Protective Cover, but replaces the battery door to make it slimmer? Basically i would like to find something with some protection around the edges, and a lip for the screen, but without adding to the thickness of the phone.
I was sent the Poetic Affinity case to review, so here it is. Hopefully this will help you decide on a case to help protect your shiny new 6P.
This case currently sells for $9.95 on Amazon
The Poetic Affinity is a clear polycarbonate case that protects your device from bumps and scratches while still retaining a low-profile. It is offered in two colors, clear with a black TPU lining (the color option I received) and clear with a clear TPU lining. As I mentioned previously, the inside is lined with a nice TPU material to help absorb shock. The corners protrude slightly from the rest of the case to protect against drops. It is very easy to install and remove and does not scratch your 6P while doing so. The outside edges are lined with a nice texture to provide grip and there are also TPU ridges along the back, so holding the device should not be a problem.

All the cutouts are perfectly centered and as they should be. The camera cutout does not cover the autofocus sensor and is surrounded by a raised TPU ring for protection. The ring around the fingerprint sensor is not too big and has a slight angle, making it very easy to find. I had no issues with any of the USB-C cables or headphones I tried. I have an intelliARMOR tempered glass screen protector installed and it does not interfere with it in any way and leaves plenty of room.
The volume buttons are separated and easy to distinguish from the rest of the case. I noticed I would occasionally press the power button or one of the volume buttons by mistake. It does not take much force for a button press, but I think that is because of the softness of the buttons on the 6P and has nothing to do with the case. I had no troubles taking a screenshot, a problem I had with the official Adopted case.
The only issue I found is the placement of one of the logos on the back of the case, it covers the “s” of the Nexus logo. That is purely cosmetic however, and does not affect the fit and function in any way. It would be nice if that logo was a little smaller and moved up an inch or so though.
Bottom line: If you are looking for a case that adds very little bulk and is well made for a good price and don’t mind the minor cosmetic issue (see above), I would definitely recommend the Poetic Affinity.
I've reviewed the same case on posted a video on youtube "techbswift".
The case overall is very nice, all the ports are big enough to accommodate any USB cable or headphone jack. The case is super slim which I love and, it provides decent bumper protection. I love the silicone markings that run up and down on the back of the case. It makes you feel like the case won't slip out your hands. All the buttons work properly and the see through back of the case is beautiful. The only thing I don't like about the case is the companies logo that's placed right where the Nexus branding shows through the case. If you're going to put a branding on a case, don't cover up the logo of the phone.
I agree with most, the branding is ill placed but it's probably just carryovers from the case's original template. Screenshotting for me is hit or miss but usually miss. Lol I never really do so not big deal for me. It is very ez to press the buttons which is one of my major complaints. Also the button area isn't rigid like the rest of the case which is another thing I dislike. I understand why it's that way but I'm sure they could've added more PC to keep it rigid and still have responsive buttons. The main reason I got this case was to show off the dbrand skins I have coming. Otherwise I would never go for any clear cases.
If I may humbly offer an opposing opinion, I find the plastic it is made of to be of lower quality than the Ringke Fusion or Spigen Hybrid. The branding is also off-putting, especially the P covering the Nexus in the phone itself. Not a bad case overall, but Poetic has done better in the past. There's something to be said about subtlety, and this one misses that mark.

I agree, I would rather be blunt about it than sugar coat the review and have people buy it. That would hurt my credibility and I don't see a point in offer anything anything but an 100% accurate review to the best of your ability. The plastic on mine came scratched which speaks for its quality.
Mine has scratches all over it already but I knew that coming into it. This would apply to all PC cases regardless of color. Can't compare to other similar cases as I don't have them.

Mine has a scratch on it as well, but my Spigen rugged armor has more scratches with less use. To be honest the only PC/TPU case that I've had that didn't scratch much, for over a year, was my Diztronic.
I've used Diztronic stuff in the past and generally like them but they make the same horrible mistake as Poetic and that's playing their brand aggressively on their cases.
